Upon retiring from the bench, Judge Todd entered upon the practice of the law in a copartnership with the late Capt. Sinclair Kirtley, and continued to reside in Columbia until his death. A son, Judge Robert B. Todd, one of the first graduates of the Missouri State University, was for a number of years judge of the supreme court of Louisiana.
Judge Todd was a fine type of the pioneer jurist of the high order. As a judge, he held first rank, and he died in 1859, leaving a stainless and an honored name.
The genius of the artist, Genl. Geo. C. Bingham, has admirably preserved his features unto this day. His face as shown in this pho- tograph indicates a high intellectuality and that he was a fine represen- tative of the great men of the pioneer period. His expression is indic- ative of culture, purity and power. We respectfully ask that this picture be suspended upon these walls, that posterity may not only honor his name, but behold the type of men who gave the first im- pulse to civilization in this great commonwealth.
May I also express the hope that it be followed by the portraits of his successors, a line of able and honored men, each one of whom has left a record for fidelity and ability which is a source of pride and honor to our people. May their noble virtues ever be an inspiration and an example to those who may hereafter occupy the seat which they so honored and adorned, that this beautiful temple of justice may be ever worthy of the motto upon its entrance: "Oh! Justice, when ex- pelled from other habitations, make this thy dwelling place."

ADDRESSES
THE OLD BOONE COUNTY BAR
At the banquet given to the State Bar Association at the Gordon Hotel, in Columbia, in June, 1902, Judge Jno. F. Philips, of Kansas City, responded to the toast, "The Old Boone County Bar". He said in part :
Gentlemen, if you are expecting mere humor or wit, you may be disappointed. My mood, tonight, is sentimental, for my heart is full.
Whenever my feet touch the soil of old Boone I feel like exclaim- ing with the undaunted Scott: "My foot is on my native heath, and McGregor is my name." When this state was yet a territory, my father and mother, in a rude two-horse wagon, drove through, from Kentucky, the dense forest where now stands this beautiful city and splendid seat of learning. They pitched their tent thirteen miles westward where my eyes first saw this world, in all the sweetness and charm of its naturalness. This afternoon, in a carriage with my friends, I drove about this city, amid associations of "the May of youth and bloom of lustihood". I saw the old homes, with their velvety lawns, flowers and stately elms, and the pastures of emerald, luxuriant grass. I visited the beautiful city of the dead, the slabs, shafts and monu- ments that mark the perpetual rest of the noted men and women who made the history of Columbia. I read the names of so many, dear to my memory, who had put on their robes and gone to their peace.
I drove to the eminence, and halted in front of the old Jefferson Garth mansion on West Broadway, from which, back in the forties, my eyes caught the first glimpse of the University. I can never for- get the feeling of awe and wonderment excited by the imposing columns of the portico. The sight of the Pantheon, in later years, was tame in comparison. The six columns, which today stand as mute sentinels in front of the modern, and more imposing structure, seemed to my mind to prop the very temple of fame, which "shines afar". I wish here and now to render unto Gardiner Lathrop the just mead of praise and gratitude for his noble work of influence in preserving, for the eyes of every student of the University, those columns as a reminder of the old college building, so ruthlessly licked up by the devouring flames.
It has been just fifty years since I matriculated in the state Uni- versity. And although I claim Center College, Kentucky, as my Alma Mater, I have not outlived my first love. I return here, in a green

old age, to lay at her feet the richest, golden sheaf of the harvest of life as a grateful, votive offering.
The rude winds of fifty winters have swept beyond the river of time every member of the faculty here during my brief term. The old college building has gone to ashes with them. But the college lawn remains, in all the glory of nature and art, with dew on the grass and diamonds in the dew.
"And the young moons of April and the young girls of old,
How they come flocking to the heart like lambs to the fold;"
As I was in "the epoch of the watery eye and the educated whis- ker", when I first entered the University, I was sick at heart over "the girl I left behind me". How like a vision of beauty, a very angel in dimity, she floats before these dimmed eyes; I see her pale hair, just touched with the golden hues of the sun, her eyes reflecting the azure of the skies; her cheeks, where the dimples came and went like ripples on the placid lake, fanned by gentle breezes ; her lips like two roses blooming on the same stem; a laugh as full of melody as sum- mer woods full of singing birds; a step as lithe as the fawn's, and a breath as sweet as odors wafted from the gardens of Hesperus. Her name was Julia, but she had red hair. How hard and dull was my mathematics, with its equations; and Caesar, with his "Omnia Gallia divisa est in partes tres". My soul was for poetry, and I ransacked the volumes of poetical quotations in formulating my first letter to that girl, with malice prepense to take her in the liquid amber of speech. How I hung around the post office, at the incoming of the old swinging stage, in consuming expectancy for an answer to that letter. I came to the conclusion that Mrs. Richard Gentry, who was then Columbia's post mistress, was derelict in duty in not delivering my letter. But the old stage came and went, and the days lagged by, and no letter came. Fortune favors him who waits, as well as the brave. One bright Saturday morning the letter came. I recognized the hand that addressed the envelope. I put it in the pocket nearest my heart, and sought the solitude of nature, as the silent witness of my ecstacy. I hastened to the University campus and concealed myself behind an old cottonwood tree, to the southwest of Academic Hall, which still lives as witness to that scene. I sat down beneath its wide spread- ing branches, and leaned against it for support, for I was growing weak under the nervous strain. All nature seemed to be en rapport with my happy self. The sky was, of course, cerulean, and the trees were gorgeous in the vari-colors of autumn.
"The jaybird sat on a swinging limb
He winked at me and I winked at him."

ADDRESSES
The gloriously red-headed woodpecker, as he played his beak on a dead tree hard-by, seemed to be keeping time with the beatings of my heart playing a tattoo against my ribs. Deftly, but cautiously, I broke the seal of the letter, so as not to rend the mucilage, for I wanted to press that mucilage to my lips, as I knew she had licked it with her red tongue. Out came the letter, and sad to relate, it was only my own letter returned to me! When I looked up, it seemed as if that same jaybird was taunting me, and I tried to kill it with the first club in reach. I started to tear that letter into shreds, when my eyes caught something scribbled on the margin. It was "I Chron .. ch. 19, v. 5, last clause". For the first time since I left home I re- called the fact that my dear old mother had placed in my trunk a Bible, with the injunction, "Search the Scriptures". With hope still alive in this human breast, I hastened to my room at Judge War- ren Woodson's, which building is yet standing in the beautiful lawn just East of the University campus, and got out that Bible, and turning to I Chronicles, chapter 19, verse 5, last clause, I read: "Tarry at Jericho until your beard grows out, and then return." My beard soon began to grow, but I did not return soon.
After a year at this University I went to Center College. Ken- tucky, where I tarried for two years ; and after I read law one year, or so, I met that girl, the mother of two red-headed boys and "the rise"; and seeing what a narrow escape I had made, I was persuaded that that red-headed woodpecker should ever be regarded as a bird of good omen, sounding a note of warning! Possibly that experience caused me not to return to Columbia, but to "hang out my shingle" at Georgetown, in Pettis county.
Having in mind the destiny of a lawyer while I was attending the University, I took special interest in looking on, at every opportu- nity, at what was going on in the Boone circuit court, often when I was supposed to be studying. And I have a vivid recollection of the leading members of the bar in ante bellum days, as I saw them in the old court house in this city.
I recall the two Gordon brothers, James M. and John B. Gor- don; the latter always known as Jack Gordon. James Gordon was a strong lawyer, well versed in the principles of the common law. He was not an attractive orator, but what he lacked in eloquence he made up in rugged force and plausible argument. He was a man of exalted character, universally liked by the bar and the people, and wielded great influence with juries and the court. Jack Gordon was a re- markable man, popular with the people, and all the people; he was conversant with the law and its rules of practice, and a brilliant and
286
THE BENCH AND BAR OF BOONE COUNTY
forcible speaker. In the days of his lustihood, he was the Demosthenes of the bar.
Here, too, in the full-armed vigor of his splendid manhood, was James S. Rollins, "from spur to plume a Knight Templar". He was the mentor of this University, and was one of the most persuasive and fascinating advocates to whom I have ever listened. He was so ur- bane, deferential and plausible as to make him quite irresistible. His suave dignity, splendid delivery and bearing, marked him as one to be respected and admired. At the bar, as on the hustings and the platform, he was one of the most accomplished orators of the state.
General Guitar was the knight errant of the bar. His oratory was of torrential quality. His zeal, enthusiasm and aggressiveness made him dreaded by some and respected by all. He was the terror of the opposing litigant; and, when he appeared in a case of impor- tance, where there was unusual feeling present, he drew an audience to the court room, as something spectacular was expected. He was, however, more than the fiery advocate; he was a good lawyer, well posted on the law and facts of his case. His impassioned speech and aggressive manner often stirred my young heart. He was a bril- liant lawyer, brave soldier, and unswerving patriot, who yet "stands against time like an obelisk fronting the sun". All hail to the imper- ishable Frenchman-Odon Guitar! May he, like the aloe plant of Old Mexico, where he carried so gallantly the American flag on Doniphan's expedition, bloom at the century mark.
Samuel A. Young was the picturesque member of the bar, possess- ing rare brilliance and a wonderful vocabulary. He was a natural- born actor, and could have been a star on the stage of any play house. So versatile was he that he shown as well on the wrong as on the right side of a case. But he lacked that sincerity and deep conviction so essential to the successful lawyer.
Lewis W. Robinson, always called Luke, was an unpolished nugget of much pure gold. He was not a great lawyer or accomplished ad- vocate; but he was resourceful, astute, with a homely way of pre- senting his case that made him impressive, and he was a man to be reckoned with by any opponent.
Then there was that prince of gentlemen, David Todd, the first circuit judge of the first judicial circuit of our state. As a counselor, Judge Todd was a man of great ability, and as a drafter of pleadings and legal papers, he possessed great clearness.
The Boone county bar presented foemen worthy of the steel of the visiting knights, and the Boone circuit court was attended in those days by some of the best lawyers in the state. From Fayette came
287
ADDRESSES
Abiel Leonard, the Nestor of the bar in central Missouri, the scholar, jurist, and gentleman, sans peur et sans reproche. General John B. Clark, who was afterwards my preceptor, an imposing figure, whose graceful gestures were the very poetry of motion, whose inexhaustible supply of tears, from his lachrymose eye, won many verdicts from juries. And although not burdened with "black lettered wisdom", he knew men and much law, and was a power in his day. Col. Jo Davis, a walking compendium of Blackstone, Coke, and Chitty on Pleadings, believing that all this new corn cometh from the old fields. Robert T. Prewitt was prosecuting attorney of the circuit. He was erudite, methodical, clean, and always knew what he wanted and what he was doing.
From Boonville came the two kinsmen, the opposite of each other in their personal characteristics, Peyton R. Hayden and Wash Adams. Hayden was the very impersonation of old Sarkasm portrayed in the Flush Times of Alabama. When he flipped his cue with his right hand, until it came around like the swish of a horse's tail in fly time, it was known that some witness or the opposing counsel was going to receive "a lambasting". Judge Adams, on the contrary, was rugged, imperturbable, dignified, and ever pregnant with the law of the case in hand, a dangerous adversary. Then there was Charles H. Hardin, afterwards governor of Missouri, and one of Missouri's greatest men.
The court was presided over by Judge William A. Hall, of Ran- dolph county, who was the model trial judge-stern, without affectation or offensiveness ; dignified enough, without ostentation ; a clean-cut in- tellect, quick of perception and exact in his analysis. He dispatched the business of the court with rapidity, for he possessed that admirable quality of the nisi judge, of never hanging in the mid-air of doubt or uncertainty, in passing on questions of évidence and law, but deciding at once and for aye. He was quick to grasp the salient point, and so incisive and clear in his pronouncements as to make it seemingly right and decisive. His conception of the judge was that the law is laid upon his conscience. By him, I was examined in August, 1856, in open court, and commissioned by him as an "attorney at law". Tak- ing a quill, he wrote out my commission with his own hand.
Gentlemen of the bar, in conclusion, I cannot repress another sentiment. The tendency of old age is to retrospection and isolation. But I am kept so busy, nowadays, with the live questions of law, and in such close contact with the most active members of the bar, that I have to keep my magazine of law brightly burnished, and keep up "with the procession". For forty-five years I have trod the path over which shines the gladsome light of jurisprudence. With you

and from you I have learned much of the law I know. And so often as I come off of my judicial perch and mingle with you on these occasions my heart kindles anew with the love of life. And when the banquet closes I recall the verse :
"The sweetness that pleasure hath in it Is always so slow to come forth, That scarcely, alas, to the minute It dies, do we know half its worth."
